For the past few months, things in my life haven’t been all that great. Actually,  they’ve been very discouraging. It’s so hard to see the silver lining at the end of the tunnel sometimes. But if you know who God is you know that bad things come and they will work out for your good. You just have faith and believe. A lot of times, it’s hard to believe in something you can’t see. It’s hard to see that your family member will get well. That your car problems will disappear. That your last reprimand at work can be taken away. That your relationship will go back to normal. That you losing a person close to you to death. That your grief will go away. That the depression will go away. That your anxiety will be a thing of the past. That you can trust people without fear of being hurt. Etc..there are a lot of things that we want to believe will change but we don’t really believe they will. We don’t know how to believe. I’m guilty of it too.

Everything we go through is for a reason. Everything works for your good. Still, I know it’s hard to believe that.  So I just want to encourage you and myself. We have to believe that things will be fine. We may not see it but God is working.

This song came out in 2007. I never heard it until tonight when I felt that I was at my absolute lowest. It blessed me. I feel a lot better.

I just wanna write You a letter
So if You can hear me, can You give me a sign
Cause I don’t feel You like I should, please if You could

My faith is almost gone
I can’t hold on much longer
Take this cup from me

I wanna believe if I never hear I’m sorry
I can let it go, gotta let You go
Cause it’s killing me, Jesus You know how it feels
Cause You’ve been hurt before, don’t wanna hurt no more

I’m trying to hear You speak
But my heart is growing weaker
Take this cup from me

Help me believe, can I believe
Let me believe, I wanna believe
I’ve been here before
And can’t take that hurt again

It’s hard to believe in what I can’t see
To give You my will ’cause You’re what’s better for me
You can look in my eyes and see
I wanna believe, believe, believe, believe
Believe, believe

I wanna believe when I close my eyes on this side
I’ll wake up with You, more in love with You
And, and finally, You will say my race
It is over and my work is through cause I believed in You

I know dark nights will come
And some days there’ll be no sunshine
And You’re too far to see

Help me believe, can I believe
Let me believe, I wanna believe
I’m no good on my own
Please give me another chance

It’s hard to believe in what I can’t see
To give You my will cause You’re what’s better for me
You can look in my eyes and see
I wanna believe…

He was us to trust and believe in Him. Even when we don’t see a way out. The road is already paved. Things won’t always be easy but they’ll always be worth it.

Just believe…He will help you.

1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Be blessed
